[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, how old are you?  Bodies change with time and with life events.  That doesn't mean throw in the towel and give up on any attempt at health, but if it's that preoccupying to you, you've got to try something else.  I still think adding in exercise (especially strength training) is a game-changer, for health if not specifically for weight loss.

How much time and energy do you want to spend worrying about your weight?[/quote]
I’m 34. I don’t want to worry about my weight at all. But at this weight I do. It bothers me, I don’t feel like myself. [/quote]

You need to take an approach that's more comprehensive than "eat less," which we *know* doesn't work over the long-term.

-Exercise, be active, move your body
-Focus on nutrition: protein, fiber, fruits and veggies, water, what you can have more of rather than what you can't have
-Attend to sleep and stress-reduction
-Some kind of therapy to accept yourself as you are regardless of your weight.  I'm not being flip about that: you're only 34.  You do NOT want to spend years of your life preoccupied by this stuff.

Good luck.[/quote]

NP - second others in changing your mindset about food. Look at food as fuel and nourishment for your body and make better choices. Ask what's going to provide the best nourishment for your body, not necessarily what tastes the best. But with the right choices, ideally you can find a balance of both that is sustainable long term.[/quote]
